How to hide some collection items in repeater, but have a dropdown to filter through all items in collection?

I have a collection that contains all of the different styles of carpet we offer along with all the different colors they come in. I am trying to only show one color of each style in my repeater. On the same page as my repeater I have a dropdown color family filter that I need to filter through all the items, the hidden and not hidden.

I tried adding a boolean field in the collection and that worked but when I tried the filter, it would only filter the shown colors.

This is the link to the carpet page https://kendra40hughes.wixsite.com/my-site-2/carpet

You can try the reference field. Create another Collection for colors and connect it with your main collection using reference field. You can then use it as filter.
